Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The inspected login behavior is a user-invoked Taskless device authorization flow, and the scanner’s fixed-gateway credential claim was not supported by the source reviewed. Some optional platform engine dependencies remained unresolved or metadata-only, and the package source shows those engines can be selected at runtime, so a clean verdict is not supported. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 70.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T06:14:52.756Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T06:16:18.436Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 3682 ms - **AI review time:** 81487 ms - **Total time:** 85680 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No concrete attack was established in the inspected CLI source. A review gap remains because the package declares runtime-selectable platform engine binaries whose selected source was unresolved in this snapshot. - **Trigger:** A user runs a CLI command that invokes an ast-grep or Vale engine. - **Impact:** The behavior of those selected binaries remains unverified, so the package cannot be cleared as clean from this snapshot. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/binary-DjHxJ\_El.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T06:16:18.436Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The bundled resolver selects a platform binary and runs it for an identity check; the selected binary source could not be fully inspected. - **Rationale:** The inspected login behavior is a user-invoked Taskless device authorization flow, and the scanner’s fixed-gateway credential claim was not supported by the source reviewed. Some optional platform engine dependencies remained unresolved or metadata-only, and the package source shows those engines can be selected at runtime, so a clean verdict is not supported. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 70.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The manifest exposes a CLI entrypoint and lists build and development scripts; no npm lifecycle hook is declared., Login requests a device code from the configured Taskless API, polls with that device code, and saves the returned token locally., Telemetry can be disabled through environment variables or repository configuration; its inspected payload includes CLI and repository or organization metadata., The manifest declares optional platform engine binaries, and the bundled resolver locates a platform package and executes a found binary for an identity check; selected binary source was not fully reviewable in this snapshot. - **Evidence against:** The inspected login flow does not send an existing saved token to an unrelated fixed gateway., No install-time attack or concrete malicious behavior was established in the inspected package source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.3-20261021055913xfd43069. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.13.3-20261021055913xfd43069 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
